I woke up with Eddie's aroma around me. I had decided last night to stay with him because I didn't want to leave him. Eddie jolted up from hearing something outside. The gang buster throw the door scaring the shit out of me and Eddie. "Delivery service," Dustin said holding bags in his hands with a huge smile on his face.

As Eddie was eating honey comb and drinking yoo-hoo. Dustin started to say, "So we got uh, some good news and some bad news. How do you prefer it?" Bad news first, always, Eddie said with a mouth full.

"Alright bad news. We tapped into the Hawkins PD dispatch with our cerebro, and they're definitely looking for you. Also they're, uh, pretty convinced you killed Chrissy." And the good news, Eddie says grabbing my hand. "Your name hasn't gone public yet. But if we found out about you, its a matter of time before others do. And once that goes out, everyone and their shallow-minded mother is gonna be gunning for you," Robin says.

"Y'all are really no help you know," I say. We all turn our heads hearing siren sounds. I left Eddie's side and he hid under the tarp again. We watched as we saw the cops and an ambulance drive right pass us. We got in the car and drove down the road where we saw Nancy, Steve's ex-girlfriend, talking to the cops. I really felt bad about leaving Eddie, but I wanted to help.

Max had an idea and we went to the car to drive to our counselors house. Nancy wanted to check something out and Steve tried to go with her but me and Robin went instead. Steve was stuck as the babysitter again.

We arrived at the library and Robin was asking a bunch of questions. Robin kept talking and I could tell Nancy was annoyed. "Hi. Sorry, we're in a bit of a rush. Could we get the keys to the basement archives?" Nancy asked. Robin started to do the thing where she speed talks when she's nervous. We get the keys and headed to the basement.

Steve's pov: I watch Max walk in. Okay, she's in, I say to Dustin. "I'm missing collarbones, not eyes...So, he continued, we gonna talk about...it?" Huh? Sorry, talk about what? "Your temporary insanity earlier today when you basically threw yourself at  Nance?" Okay, first of all, that's not what happened. "Pretty sure that's what happened. It was pretty public. There were like a lot of witnesses."
I scoffed. Are you implying I still have a thing for Nance? "No, I'm not implying. I'm stating. And, as it relates to your steadfast refused to date Robin, it's pretty much the only logical explanation." I let out a big sigh, that's not the only one. And as for Nance, I was just trying to protect a friend. A friend Henderson. Okay? "Okay," Dustin said loosing his smile.
I don't wanna find her with her eyes sucked out of the front of her skull by this Vecna creep. Dustin chuckles, "You're like bright red in the face right now." I roll my eyes, no i'm not. I don't wanna talk about it. I'll punch you so hard in the face that your teeth will fall back out. "Woah. Too far."

Max's Pov: It's just with everything that's happening, with all the murders, it's...it's making everything worse again. "You've experienced trauma, Max, and when you keep you feelings, your pain, bottled up the way you do, it doesn't take much to trigger them again. So now, when it rains, it storms." I shake my head, yeah, I know. "Do you think you're ready to talk more about that night?" I start getting flashbacks about what happened to Billy. I live next door to where it happened. "I'm sorry?" To where Chrissy was murdered. The cops asked me a bunch of questions. Did they talk to you? I mean, I know you were seeing Chrissy.
"Max, you know I can't talk about Chrissy or any other student." Yeah, but, I mean, what if there was a serial killer on the loose in my neighborhood? Did Chrissy mention anything? Anything about who might have done this? "Max, I'm..I'm sorry, I...I really can't discuss this. You would want me talking to any other student about you, right?" If i were dead and it would help catch the killed, then yeah, I lost definitely would. "Well, let's leave that up to the police, shall we?"
I looked at her, yeah, your right. The police totally have this under control. Can i use the bathroom? "Sure, up the stairs, to the left." Thanks. I got up and walked up the stairs, when I was about to turn, I saw keys in a bowl. I grabbed a set of keys that said office and left. I ran to the car. I tell Steve to drive.

Your Pov: We we're looking through everything about Victor Creel. I wasn't really talking to them, I could t stop thinking about Eddie, I'm just really worried about him.
"What are we looking for exactly? Nance?" Robin knocks rhythmically. "Any mention of dark wizards or alternate dimensions? Things in that vein?" Robin asked. "I don't know. Okay? It's starting to seem like this was just a big waste of time. You're obviously bored. Why don't you call Steve? I'm sure he'll pick you up. And I mean, aim not really in danger here, so..." Nancy says to Robin then walks away.
Nancy, you do know that Steve and Robin are, like, totally not a thing, right? I asked Nancy walking down the stairs with Robin behind me. "Yeah, Steve and I are just friends. Like platonic with a capital P." Robin says with a sigh.
We eventually find something about Victor. "Before we go, can you drop me off with Eddie?" I asked before getting in the car.
